In Nazif Topcuoglu's intriguing works you see a combination of dramatic lighting and structured composition which gives them a Caravagesque sense of theatre, juxtaposed with his signature choice of 'actors', always girls and young women, often caught inunusual situations. The effect is voyeuristic and more than slightly unsettling, and ambiguous in message, reinforcing or undermining gender stereotypes.
